Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert den Einfluß von aggregierten Produktivitätsschocks auf die intertemporale Entscheidung risikoaverser Agenten. Dabei stehen insbesondere die Auswirkungen auf das langfristige Wachstum der Ökonomie im Vordergrund der Betrachtungen. Es wird gezeigt, daß neben...

A growth model, in which economic growth is driven by R&D activities, is constructed to analyse issues related to the riskiness of R&D. It is shown that when R&D are risky strongly-risk-averse behaviour may suffocate the potential growth of a closed economy if risk-sharing arrangements are...

This paper analyzes growth and welfare effects of income taxation in a stochastic endogenous growth model with externalities in human-capital accumulation. The government participates in individual income risks by the collection of a flat-rate income tax that affects the mean and the variance of...

This paper proposes an operationally simple and easily generalizable methodology to incorporate climate change damage uncertainty into Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). Uncertainty is transformed into a risk-premium, damage-correction, region-specific factor by extracting damage distribution...

This paper summarizes scientific thought on the likelihood of Climate Change and explores potential implications for retirement planning. The thoughts of several authors are combined to place Climate Change risk within the context of Black Swans and Deep Risk and describe implications for...

This article extends one of the primary models used for calculating the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC), DICE, to account for uncertainty regarding economic damages per additional warming degree and uncertainty over the temperature response from doubling atmospheric CO2. Coupled with consumption...
